Jets DT Sheldon Richardson going to Pro Bowl

by Larry Hartstein | CBSSports.com

Jets defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson is headed to the Pro Bowl as a replacement for Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy, who is out with a knee injury, reports ESPN.com. Richardson started every game this season and finished with 66 tackles, eight sacks and a forced fumble.

Buccaneers coach Lovie Smith said defensive tackle Gerald McCoy suffered a hyperextended knee Sunday against the Panthers. It was the same knee (right) as the one he suffered an injury Week 14, but it was an unrelated injury, per Smith.

Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy (knee) and defensive back Isaiah Frey (ankle) were downgraded to out Sunday against the Panthers. Both players were injured in the first half before being ruled out for the remainder of the game right after halftime.

Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy is unlikely to return Week 15 at Carolina after aggravating a right knee injury on the team's second defensive series in the first quarter. McCoy was cleared to play after being listed as questionable.
